From the podcast On Being: a quote from Ireland’s poet, Pádraig Ó Tuama. Here's a bit of calm in the midst of uncertainty and fear. We are all in this together.

“Poetry has taught me that it can choose the most unexpected places to pause. So, sometimes, rather than going for the high moment of drama, the high moment of the erotic, the high moment of the extraordinary, poetry will choose the small moment of pause, just to look at what’s really happening, to look at a few layers deep, and to let that small pause, that ordinary moment, open up with all the fullness of its being, to us."

Western medical science supports Eastern Arts like QiGong!

The Interstitium, the Largest Organ We Never Knew We Had The human body was thought to have 79 organs—until researchers stumbled on a strange phenomenon that could turn medicine and what we thought we knew about the body upside down.

"The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment."
--Stream of Life, a poem by Rabindranath Tagore

“In mythic terms, the earth is a place of mystery and wonder where life always hangs by a thread and all the events of history are loosely stitched upon the endless loom of eternity. Secretly, we are each tied to the divine. Human awareness was thought to be the extra element in creation, able at times to help tip the scales toward renewal.”
